Step 1

Making the Swiss roll

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

Line a Swiss roll tin with parchment paper.

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside.

Fit the Whisk Tool.

Add caster sugar and eggs into the appliance bowl, fit the splashguard.

Whisk for 5 minutes on speed Max until stiff peaks have formed.

Remove the bowl from the machine.

Add the flour mixture and fold carefully until combined with the egg mixture.

Transfer the mixture into the tin.

Bake for 8-10 minutes at 180ºC until the sponge is golden and springy to touch.

Step 2

Line a work surface with parchment paper.

Dust the parchment paper with 1 Tbsp caster sugar to prevent the sponge from sticking.

Turn the sponge onto the parchment paper and remove the old parchment paper.

Let cool for 5 minutes.

Roll the sponge into a log, starting from the shortest edge and let cool completely.

Step 3

Making the filling

Clean the appliance bowl and fit the Whisk Tool.

Add whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract into the appliance bowl, fit the splashguard.

Whisk for 1 minute 20 seconds on speed Max until thickened.

Step 4

To finish

Carefully unroll the sponge and spread a layer of apricot jam onto the roll.

Spread a layer of the whipped cream.

Gently roll up the Swiss roll again and place on a tray or plate.

Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Dust with icing sugar.

Serve.
